The radar is quiet at daybreak, but showers and storms will increase again this afternoon and tonight in the moist environment over Alabama. The sun will peek out at times, and the high today will be in the mid 80s for most places, below average for mid-August in Alabama.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: There is evidence that showers and storms will be a little fewer in number tomorrow and Sunday as the air becomes slightly more stable; we will mention scattered showers and storms both days, mainly during the afternoon and evening hours. Otherwise, a mix of sun and clouds with highs between 87 and 90 degrees.

NEXT WEEK: Very moist air hangs around, meaning we will have scattered to numerous showers and storms on a daily basis with only a limited amount of sun; highs will remain mostly in the mid to upper 80s.
